I heard Americans talk about the holidays policies of their employers and it got me thinking "What the ...?"

They had something below 30 days, sick days included.

Sick days included?! In Germany, if your sick during your holidays, you get the holidays back. Because your supposed to rest and relax during your holidays and not have a fever or whatever...

I had to plan for my mother's funeral and like, mourn. The 5 days I took was out of my vacation days, my PTO. I didn't know until I tried to take some days off later on the year.
